Be brave enough to say “I am the best in the world at this, and this is who I want to work with” and go and make it happen. - Kathryn Porritt
Hey you wild woman!
Are you crazy enough to become iconic?
It would help if you were audacious, persistent, and WILD to break through.
As my guest this week, Kathryn Porritt explains, "Be brave enough to say I am the best in the world at this, and this is who I want to work with and go and make it happen."
Kathryn knows what it means to be an icon herself and works with some of the top entrepreneurs, and one thing they all have in common; they ignore the competition to do great work that comes from within, not from a market survey.
Sure, it's very important to understand your market and keep a little side-eye at your competition, but they are NOT your guiding light. To achieve greatness in your craft, you must create something that's never been done before and be consistent in your pursuit.
This week I chatted with the talented Kathryn Porrit about what it means to become and be an icon. (Pssst, you don't have to be a large company to do it!)
Kathryn is known around the world as the leading Iconic Strategist for personal brands. She works privately with those destined for greatness to help them take their expertise and turn it into their Iconic Empire.
Following the successful sale of her multi-million dollar eCommerce company, she established Icons Incorporated to represent the world’s elite personal brands - with branding, representation services, commercialization strategies, big-deal PR, and speaking.
In this episode, you will learn about:
What it means to become iconic
Why Kathryn started her business
Why she chose joy over building her other successful brand
How the second level of success is about legacy, joy, and freedom
Why an iconic company does extreme pioneering
Icons are so compelled to do their thing that they have but no choice to do it
You can be an icon in a small niche
Switching from being a successful entrepreneur to iconic happens in your strategy by listening to your marker and creating what the market wants to then create from you. When you stop listening to the market and start creating purely from you
Be scrappy and produce your evolution
Why you need to walk through the mud to get to your first million $
Why you need to get yourself with people who have done extraordinary things
What it means to be a wild woman:
Just being you, as authentically, fabulous and audacious. Be fully attached to your greatness, own your success and allow yourself to be everything that you can be. Don’t let anyone tell you to be a portion of what you are or what you ought to be, be wild, be a maverick, be extraordinary. - Kathryn Porritt
